We often stay home at weekends and we would like to have time to fill up the refrigerator. However, some dishes will germinate within two days. Can these buds be eaten?

First, these buds are healthy

1. Germinated garlic After garlic seeds are harvested, the dormancy period is generally 2-3 months. After the dormancy period, at the appropriate temperature (5-18°C), the garlic seed will quickly germinate, grow and consume the nutrients in the stem. Whether it is garlic or garlic garlic, no toxic substances are produced during the various growth stages. Moreover, recent studies have found that sprouted garlic contains more heart-healthy antioxidants than fresh garlic. Garlic sprouted for five days had stronger antioxidant activity than fresh garlic. In addition, germinated garlic also contains different metabolites, which indicates that it produces different substances.

2. Germinated ginger We cut the ginger and found that the meat inside is dry and the fibers are thick. This means that the nutrients of ginger have begun to decrease and the nutritional value has decreased, but its main components have not been damaged. In fact, most of the ginger in the market have buds, but it is not obvious. However, if the ginger is not properly preserved after germination, it will cause growth dormancy, start to rot and grow bacteria, then if you eat it will cause diarrhea. Folks have the notion that “rotten ginger is not bad”, meaning that rotten ginger can eat it. This is actually wrong. Rotten ginger contains baicalein, which may denature and necrosis hepatocytes, thereby inducing liver cancer, so it is absolutely inedible.

3. sprouted buns In fact, the buns with sprouts can be eaten. The reason why potatoes sprouted can not be eaten because of the production of solanine. The taro does not contain solanine, so there is no such problem. Therefore, after the sprouting of steamed buns, everyone can eat it safely.

Second, these three foods cannot germinate

1. Germinated potatoes Poisonous potatoes are the most prone to germination. Germinated potatoes contain a toxic substance. If too much food is consumed, symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea will occur. If germinating potatoes are to be eaten, they must be germinated. Remove that part and add some vinegar to the toxin to remove it.

2. Sprouted sweet potato toxins Many sweet potatoes are also a kind of food that can easily germinate. If you store them for a long time, they will have black spots on the surface of sweet potatoes. These are all containing toxins. Therefore, if you find that this happens in sweet potatoes, it is best not to eat them. Now.

3. moldy peanuts sprouted no moldy food. Many people believe that sprouted peanuts cannot be eaten because there is a lot of aflatoxin (a carcinogen). In fact, the germination of peanuts is not inability to eat, but the environmental conditions required for peanut germination and mildew are the same. Many sprouted peanuts will also appear moldy. This is because after the long-sprouted peanut skin is destroyed, it is easy to breed aflatoxins, and the amount of moldy peanut aflatoxin will be very high. Therefore, many people look at it. It is also reasonable to not eat the sprouted peanuts.

Above, I talked about the family's daily health knowledge. After reading these contents, you must have understood that garlic can actually be eaten after germination, and germinating garlic is more beneficial to heart health than fresh garlic, so don't be alarmed about sprouting garlic. Still can eat. However, it is worth reminding that for germinated potatoes, germinated sweet potatoes, and moldy peanuts must not be eaten to avoid poisoning.
